A Chart Polski’s daily routine should focus on providing outlets for their high energy and sighthound instincts. Provide one to two hours of daily exercise, combining brisk walks with opportunities for off-leash sprints in a securely fenced area to satisfy their prey drive. Feed adults twice daily and maintain a consistent schedule for feeding and potty breaks to build a strong routine. Essential daily care includes short, positive reinforcement training sessions to manage their independent streak and ensuring they have a quiet, comfortable space to rest indoors.
